⚓️Fierce Duluth Storm: 45 mph Winds & Mighty Waves in 4K!

[@donwesterfield1422]

Any idea what the wave heights are in open water . Definitely looking ferocious as it comes on shore .

[@chuckg6039]

A few miles off shore, the waves today were generally 8 to 10 feet ...with occasional up to 13 feet (with a period of 6 seconds between crests) per a popular weather site which measures wind and waves.

[@vibewithmike]

I’m going to look into that. That’s a good question. Update: I’m back after looking and I found one article talking about 29 foot waves check this out. minnesotasnewcountry.com/four-years-ago-duluth-experienced-some-of-the-biggest-waves-ever/

[@chucke4294]

Mike and all Boat Friend Nation, from a frozen Bismarck where we have had foggy, misty, rain and wind, and everything is covered with a half inch of ice. That is probably the worst wind for the Big Lake as it has traveled a long ways to hit Duluth, and it just keeps building the whole time till it hits…. Mother Nature letting us know who is boss, that is for sure…. Amazing how those waves were coming in over the cement, and the power that water has is unbelievable. The water spray when this windy and cold actually feels like little hailstones hitting your face, and man is that cold! Been there and done that! That was a great show Mike, and I appreciate your efforts in that weather!!!

They really should’ve had those green gates shut during the storm, because people could venture all the way down to the lighthouse. In fact, I thought I did see someone walk all the way down there.

Hey, thanks for watching the video. I hope you have time to join us all live at 5 PM central time to see this incredible ship. I hope you can make it here. Here’s the link that will go live at 5 PM with all of us. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vNqJSorcplgNUsi=y7o0cnd_mfN8kGW3

I really enjoyed this weather video from my couch, but by all means Mike, please be careful out there!

[@vibewithmike]

Karl, absolutely Brother. I stayed a safe distance away from the walls, and I did not go all the way down to the lighthouse because I knew there could be huge waves that could push me down. I’m really happy that you enjoyed the video man. All the best to you.

[@mikerhodes7677]

Hey boat friend great video thanks Mike

[@Eveliga]

Waves were crazy in their one

[@vibewithmike]

These waves were really wild. Flying right over the wall.

[@DressyBessie]

Wow! That was exciting to see those wild waves come over the side of the pier! Can you imagine if all that water freezes on the pier? Do you have Trax for the ice? I really enjoy seeing ice on the trees but just not too much with power outages. You should be able to get some great filming this week! That cold wind now must have been a shock! I finally found a great pair of Himalayan mittens that are super warm with one opening for fingers and another for thumbs so you can still operate cameras and then easily warm them back up in between. They aren't too thick but are still very warm. Hope you can find something similar maybe.

[@vibewithmike]

Lori, friend, I told you these waves would get out of control at some point. This is the most powerful storm that I have recorded. One thing that was hard to record is the feeling I had. The powerful wind that would come off those waves as they hit as they flew over. The wall was unbelievable. You could feel the force and the power. I did not want to walk too far down the pier because I knew it would be dangerous. Unbelievable. I had a lot of fun, but there was a lot of adrenaline going in me at the same time.

[@colleenhendrickson8874]

Crazy waves. Be careful out on the pier Mike

[@vibewithmike]

I stayed a safe distance away, but I could still feel the power of those waves

[@JC-hj1lw]

Merry Christmas!!! What dedication!

[@vibewithmike]

Thank you so much, there’s nothing funner than showing people the power of the lake here in Duluth. Those waves were extremely powerful.

[@ajknaup3530]

I love Superior when She gets riled up like this. Mother Nature fierce!

[@vibewithmike]

Absolutely, there’s nothing cooler than seeing these powerful waves on lake superior

[@rogerhadley2763]

those are some tuff looking waves

[@tannermutah]

Good video, Mike!

[@vibewithmike]

I’m really happy you liked it. All the best to you. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Thanks for taking a moment out of your day to leave a comment. I appreciate you being part of the channel.

[@RockyRacoon123]

Lake Superior at its best! ❤

[@nickbitten9910]

Wow- some hardcore weather there Mike.

[@vibewithmike]

Nick, definitely was wild man. Unbelievably there was no snow. However, this video that will be playing in about an hour had some snow. I hope you’ll be able to join us live at 4:30 PM central today. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWrFm4Bsqc6sZ6csi=h6K9DtvUTFYLsr8Q

[@jrs9144]

I loved this vlog. It reminds me of an angry Lake Erie pounding the shoreline of Buffalo where 30 ft waves were not unusual.

[@vibewithmike]

John, man, I have to get to Lake Erie at some point. I’ve scoped out a few places that have some good ship watching. I really want to get there sometime.

[@jstoli996c4s]

@@vibewithmikethe far eastern end of Lake Erie gets some epic wind and waves. There’s a restaurant called Hoaks that regularly gets completely covered in ice with blowing storms like this 💨 🌊 🧊 🥶

[@vibewithmike]

@jstoli996c4s I’m going g to lookup the restaurant. You will like this one from today. ⚓️Duluth's 1949 Ship Sykes: 2023's Greatest Show! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYargJqbqs2oodE

[@tonykorper6715]

Hey Mike, you do a great job with all the boats...love to watch 'em all...how about doing some details on the lift bridge...looks like a great piece of engineering...???

[@dboydabear2]

Hi Mike stay safe. That looks wicked and cold

[@vibewithmike]

You’re very right, that wind really amplified the cold on my hands. They started feeling numb after a while, so that’s why I cut the video somewhat short. It was just too cold out there and those waves are super powerful.

[@thomaslilly9821]

Wow that's some weather right there be careful Mike

[@vibewithmike]

I was safe, luckily, I was not out on the water today like some of those people on the ships. However, we have been waiting for a storm like this that should’ve been in November, but we haven’t after Christmas, go figure. I hope you had a fantastic Tuesday. Thank you so much for watching and always leaving a comment. All the best to your brother.

[@Steve_C264]

Wow!angry lake today. Hope you had a very nice Christmas Mike

[@vibewithmike]

I did have a good Christmas, Steve, thanks for asking and I hope you had one too. The wild waves out on Lake superior as you could see in this video today.

[@kenpgh]

I fish for steelhead in erie pa in the fall , when the wind whips up the waves on lake erie it gets really nasty - nice vid 👍🇺🇸

[@vibewithmike]

Nothing like a day on the fishing. For those that want to learn more about steelhead’s. www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/steelhead-trout

[@SteveVidra]

Nice video Mike.

[@vibewithmike]

Steve, much appreciated for dropping a comment on this video Brother. I hope all is well. It’s Wednesday now. The lake has settled down. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. All the best to you and yours.

[@glendatucker4200]

Mike, I would like to make a request. When you are scanning, can you please scan a little slower? You scan so fast I don’t see even half of it. Thank you so much for filming these ships for those of us who will never get to see one in person.

[@vibewithmike]

Absolutely, I will try to slow down those pans

[@katherineaustin2477]

Wow That is so wild the waves are unbelievable high. Please be careful today

[@vibewithmike]

It was definitely the most powerful storm. I’ve ever recorded here on Lake superior. It was crazy today.

[@fredhoy6697]

I shared this with a young friend with whom I shared Christmas dinner. I asked her if she missed the winters and it was an emphatic no on her part. We're in Seattle which is pretty benign in comparison to there even though you're having a mild winter. Her dad still lives there.

[@vibewithmike]

I really appreciate you sharing the video. Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot that you stop for a minute to write something. Serious, thank you so much. These waves are absolutely crazy today on Lake superior and I’m glad this video showed it.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@fredhoy6697]

My pleasure. Love your content and am happy to have found you. If I could turn back time I would seriously consider this (Great Lakes shipping) as a career. Was in the Navy for four years (actual underway time of maybe 7 months) and loved every day of sea time. Not so much yard time. Have a buddy who was a seaman on one for a couple of years and from his description of it, I would have loved it. Oh well. Keep up your content and I'll enjoy it vicariously.

[@vibewithmike]

@fredhoy6697 Thank you for your service! It means a lot to me and many others. It’s people like you that served our country that allows me to make videos like this. Thank you!🙏🇺🇸
